Wake Up the District Attorney With 1,000 Letters: WEEK 3

A message from NYC CAN:

Fellow Advocates,

Thank you and congratulations! Together we finished Week 2 with 217 letters sent to the District Attorney’s office.

In Week 3 let’s make it our minimum goal to reach 500 letters, and in Week 4, 1000 letters! How do we do it?

If you haven’t sent a letter yet, now is the time to join. You’ve never had an easier opportunity to take action and be heard. If you have been participating – in addition to sending your letter for Week 3 – make it your personal to goal to get just one friend to send a letter by forwarding this action alert and urging them to take action. There must be one person you can get to send a letter with you. If you can get that one person to send a letter, we will reach 500 letters this week and 1000 next week!

To help you get more people in your networks involved, the instructions have been refined, the action alert and letter are now posted on NYC CAN’s Channel Your Voice page (the link is http://nyccan.org/join.php), and a Word file has been posted there for download/print.

Let’s do our best to reach 500 letters this week and 1000 letters next week. The DA’s office is listening!

Sincerely,

Ted Walter

Week 3: Wake Up the DA With 1,000 Letters – June 15-18, 2010

The Campaign:

This is the third week of our 4-week campaign urging the Manhattan District Attorney to investigate the destruction of World Trade Center Building 7. To bring Building 7 fully to the attention of the District Attorney, our goal is to flood the DA’s office with 1,000 letters and faxes per week. With 1,000 letters and faxes we will show the DA just how widespread the desire for a new investigation is. We are counting on you to take part in this gigantic grassroots effort no matter who you are or how busy you are. Together we can wake up the District Attorney so that when the time is right he will be ready to prosecute those responsible for the destruction of Building 7.

How it works:

We ask you to send only one letter per week. At the end of each week, we report how many letters and faxes were sent the previous week. This way we all get to know whether or not we reached our goal, and we are all depending on each other to action. Without action what hope do we have.

At the beginning of each week we send out and post a template of the letter for that week. We encourage you to edit the letter to make it your own, but please be sure to stick to what the letter is saying.

Each week will cover a different topic so that the District Attorney’s office can be comprehensively educated about the destruction of Building 7 in a way that is easy to absorb. The weeks are as follows:

Week 1: Getting the DA’s office to watch footage of Building 7 – COMPLETED
Week 2: Testimonial Evidence – COMPLETED
Week 3: Scientific Evidence – THIS WEEK
Week 4: Destruction of Physical Evidence

Please note we have changed the topics of Week 3 and Week 4, which were previously Physical Evidence and Technical Evidence (video footage), respectively.

Instructions:

• Download the Word File or copy/paste the letter by going to NYC CAN’s website, edit it as you wish, and mail or fax it to the District Attorney’s office. We are asking you to mail or fax your letter because the District Attorney’s office asks for complaints to be written. The fax # for the Special Prosecutions Bureau of the District Attorney’s Office is (212) 335-8914. The mailing address is included in the letter template.
• Email us at info@nyccan.org to let us know you sent your letter so we can record a total for that week. Please write SENT in the subject of your email unless you have something else to report or suggest. If you are reporting for 2 people, please write “SENT +1″.
• Forward this action alert to as many people as possible, post it on blogs, websites, facebook, etc. The link to direct people to is http://nyccan.org/join.php. When you forward the action alert, please encourage your friends to sign up on the website to receive our action alerts directly.

We thank you with all of our heart for standing up and taking action.

Only by acting together will truth prevail.
